Back Cover:

HENRY FRANCIS, Exec. Editor ACBL Bulletin:
'This new book is for the player who wants to take the giant leap into the world of better bridge... What makes Lampert's book different is the artwork. They say a picture is worth thousand words. Lampert's cartoons are even more valuable. The ideas are sound, the text is well-written and the cartoons are great.'

RICHARD PAVLICEK, Columnist, Ft. Lauderdale News /Sun-Sentinel:
'Harry Lampert once again combined his talents as a professional cartoonist and excellent bridge writer. The Fun Way to Advanced Bridge, no doubt inspired by popular demand, is a potpourri of useful bridge advice -- defense, declarer play, bidding, conventions -- that is sure to improve anyone's game. The novelty of the book is the inclusion of many captioned cartoons which humorously illustrate the material. I must admit that I couldn't put the book down until I read every one."

STEVE BECKER, Syndicated Columnist:
"For those who already play bridge and would like to improve their game, it is hard to imagine a better and more entertaining way of doing it than by reading Lampert's new book, The Fun Way to Advanced Bridge."

This book includes valuable information on many of the most important aspects of bridge, including:

• Counting the hand and breaking the rules
• Handling takeout doubles, slam, and preemptive bidding
• Reverse and Transfer bids
• Declarer Play: deceptive, safety, strip, end, and squeeze plays
• Sharpening your game with duplicate bridge
• Ins and outs of the "weak" two bid
• Winning at defensive play
